1had often heard of the poisoned ar
rows, and determined to ask the old In
dian arrow-maker about them and how
they were made and impregnated with
the deadly poison which they were sup
posed to contain. He looked at me for
a full minute and then said:
First we take bloated yellow rat

poisonous, and tie him with forked
stick to stake; then we tease him till
he is in great rage. This is done by
passing Il switch over his body from
his head to his tail. When he threshes
the ground with his body and his eyes
grow bright and sparkle like diamonds
we kill deer, antelope or sor,e other

throw it TO the snake while it is warn
and the blood still coursing through it.

then killed ana the liver Lifted with 4

one dare touch it. The liver is let lay
for about an hour, when it will b. al
most jet black and emit sour sn.ell.
Arrows are then brought and icir
iron heads pushed into the liver up TO
the shaft. They are left sticking there
for about an hour and half, when they
are withdrawn and dried in the sur. A
thin, glistening, yellow scum adheres
to the arrow and if it but so much as
touches raw flesh it is certain to poison
it TO death"

ApuLTERATED WINES.
How the People OF New York Are Hum
plugged by UnscruPulous Dealers

How the People OF New York Are Hum
plugged by Unscrupulous Dealers
1--WE make from 100000 to
IS, 900. 900 gallons of American wine
yearly, and we do not import over
5000. 900. Those figures tell the wine
drunk by our people is foreign or
American" So spoke a New York
wine-dsaler. "By far the larger part
of the American wine, however," he
added, sis not sold as American, but
as foreign wines. Only few days ago
1 visited the cellar of one of the largest
wine merchants in the city. 1t con-
tanned many thousands of gallons OF
American wine, the casks being marked
st. Julien .Medoc,' etc.. through the
list of prominent foreign brands. Hotel
men go there and order these wines
bottled and labeled as foreign wines,
and 1 saw in that cellar many thou
sands of labels ready for use in this
way. These parties take good care not
to initiate a trademark, but they give
the wine the foreign name and sell it
as foreign to their guests. 1t is a
strictly confidential business as be-
tween the wine merchant and the
hotel-keeper. The American wine is
bottled right there in the cellar, Ia
beled with the foreign label, and then
sent to the hotel, so that the hotel pro-
prietor is not put in the power of his
steward or caterer by the latter know
ing the source from which his en-
ployer receives his wines. Of course
this does not apply to all the hotels.
at is not difficult to see the advan-
tage in all this" went on the wine
dealer. at enables the hotel man to
sell his wines at profit of one hundred
to two hundred per cent, and it en-
ables the American wine producer to
dispose of his product. that might
otherwise be left on his hands.
"But one of the most interesting de-
ceptions," added the wine dealer, sis
that perpetrated by some of the creme
de la creme upon their contiding
friends. Some rich individual, who
utS d COlb VI dlHlS, ttiIu COdtc VI I'll III
can always be got in London at the
right figure, will order quantity OF
American wine bottled, and have a la
bel with his coat of arms stamped on
the bottle. Then he confides to his
friends, as they loll over the dinner
table, that the wine was expressly i'm
ported for his private use. It's an in
nocent sort of a fraud, and the wine
probably tastes a good deal better for
it But selling American wine for for
eign is nothing to the trick of making
wine out of cider, or fruit acid with
enough American wine for body.
This is not only a deception; it is
morally, and ought to be legally. a
crime. Yet many thousands of gal
Ions of such stuff are disposed of year
ly in New York. ~ Y. Star.

BANJO AND GUITAR.
A Desler PrOnounces the Latter the Fash

A Desler PrOnounces the Latter the tasn-
ionable Instrument of the Day.
All desire for the banjo seems to have
gone, and the ladies who wanted to
know how to play have lost their inter-
est The music professors made good
thing while the craze lasted, and we
sold a number of instruments. How
ever, the supply is very large, and a
great many dealers will have banjOs
on their hands for some years. How
ever, the guitar has been taken up in
place of the banjo, and 1 am selling
four guitars where sell one banjo.
The boom in the banjo trade left us
with lot of guitars on hand, but we
will now be able to realize on them,
as guitars improve with age. 1t is
much more sensible for ladies to pre-
fer the guitar, for they can accompany
their voices to better advantage than
with the banjo. A good guitar costs
twenty-five dollars, but there are in
struments of better make that bring
fifty and seventy-five dollars. For the
last sixty years the Martin guitar has
been the standard, and nearly every
old family has one of these ante-bellum
instruments in the house. The orig
inal maker is dead, and although his
son is still in the business, he has not
the cunning hand of his father. These
old instruments are initiated so much
that it does not mean any thing to
have the name Martin" stamped in
side. The good guitar, like the good
violin, has ring about its tones that
the musician can Immediately detect.
1t is not difficult to learn few accom-
paniments on guitar, and one with
an ear for music can easily pick up the
necessary accords. To be skillful
player requires time and talent-St.
